Description

The AN/PSC-5C supports the Department of Defense requirements for a lightweight, reliable, multi-band/multi-mission terminal supporting critical tactical communications. The AN/PSC-5C, like the AN/PSC-5 before, is a military standard based product by design and verified through military testing that ensures interoperability and human factors operations across the spectrum of the tactical environment. The AN/PSC-5C operates in the VHF and UHF frequency spectrum and supports LOS (Line-of-Sight) with frequency agile modes, SATCOM (Satellite Communications), DAMA (Demand Assigned Multiple Access), and Maritime operation. Voice and data operation is available in each of these modes.

Voice communications is significantly enhanced with the incorporation of the Mixed Excitation Linear Predictive (MELP) vocoder. This mode improves communications capabilities in noisy environments over narrowband channels. Additional MELP improvements have been incorporated and extended to ANDVT operation.

Data communications benefits an internal data controller. The internal data controller is menu configurable and may be disabled should an external data controller be utilized. Data rates up to 56, 64, and 76.8kbps can be achieved dependent upon channel and operational mode. The networking parameters facilitate tactical internet and range extension (TI-RE) capabilities supporting situational awareness (FBCB2) data via satellite.

This product meets the definition of Commercial Item as defined by FAR 2.101.
